A week later the Valar announce that they want to try Fëanáro for disrupting the peace of the Blessed Realm.

But they're not doing anything about Melkor?

He seems to have gone missing.

You know that principle where if there's a wasp in the room you want to know where it is? Imliss is going to freak the fuck out now.

Everyone is going to be freaking the fuck out, yeah. Valar. Summons. Trial for disturbing the peace. Fëanáro is so exasperated at their sense of timing that he can barely speak. 

Fucking Valar. Except Orome, she guesses, he seemed cool, there might be other exceptions too. But: as a general principle: fucking Valar.

The trial is at least very thorough. They unravel who planted the messy series of lies and rumors and illusions and half-truths and witnessed conversations that got Tirion forging swords (Melkor).They unravel who planted the lies and rumors and illusions that got Tirion carrying them (Melkor). And they unravel who planted the evidence that got Fëanáro to show up at a hearing in armor, carrying a sword (Melkor).

They are going to go look for him or something.

But the fact remains that Fëanáro disturbed the peace. 

The sentence is twelve Years exile.

What is fucking wrong with these peoples' priorities!?

The King resigns his office and announces that he'll be accompanying his son into exile. Half of Tirion will, in fact, be accompanying their crown prince into exile. They begin preparations to go. Nolofinwe will be regent in Tirion.

That's either a really good thing or a really bad thing. Where exactly are they going?

North of Valinor somewhere. There are no communities there that can accommodate these numbers; they'll have to build one.

They can't leave the continent yet, no way out.

Nngh. Fine. She doesn't have that much to pack, can she pester people about the exact logistical challenges involved to see if she can get anywhere with those with dreamshaping without slowing anyone else down?

She can! The problem is the northern land bridge is called the Helcaraxe and is really cold and dangerous and Elves can't cross it. The other option is ships, but ocean-faring ships are hard. The Teleri have some they build with Osse himself helping.

Hmm. Hmm. Those sound like problems she could solve if she got enough better at dreamshaping in the right ways but that could take a while.

Well, they're spending the next twelve Years in exile, so.

Yep. She'll see what she can do.

They take a month leaving. The Valar don't complain; there's a lot to do. And then they head north. Half the city is with them.

So much for the house plans.

They are building a city. They can build her house, exactly as specified, if a little closer to the King's house.

Yeah, okay. Still. This whole situation. Bleah. She hugs her husband and sister a lot.

He is barely willing to let go of her, and in a very bad mood. When the twelve Years are up perhaps they won't move back to Tirion, perhaps they will have found a way to leave Valinor.

Well, as long as he's willing to be strategic about how he holds onto her so she can do things like hug her sister and practice archery and read and write, that's fine.

...

And practice dreamshaping, leaving Valinor is important and Imliss shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of dealing with the technical problems alone.

The city takes a Year. They call it Formenos. It's spectacularly pretty. By the time it's done everyone has calmed down a little bit.

Yeah, years here are definitely longer than ones back home. She discretely does some timekeeping and some math, looks at the resulting numbers, and promptly burns the paper and determines firmly that letting it be known to the general public how old she and her sister actually are is a terrible idea.

She can still learn lots of the things she planned to learn back in Tirion.
